Okay, those of you that read my "stop the insanity" post already know that my wife may kill me if I do this, but I'm going to do this anyway. I hope you all know that I am absolutely kidding when I type this (legal disclaimer) I usually get the rolling eyes and the "Do you really need that?". In the end I usually just buy it. (Just like I did when I bought the car a few weeks ago...lol)

I have it narrowed down to 2 choices:

166
128

I've done all of my homework so already know about tire sizes and probably spacers. What do you all think? I found many 166 vs 167 vs 172 thread, but not many on the 128. Please feel free to post some pics for comparison! Thanks!

This is very difficult. I've been trying to decide for a few days now and I still can't make up my mind.

I keep staring at two different pictures weighing out the pros and cons of each wheel. I know that in the end it is entirely up to me, but any more input? If you could put what you like about each wheel and what you don't like would be great! Thanks again.
